I want to take this moment to talk about Julia Child Julia Child was a lanky 6'2 woman with a shrill voice, a boxy head and a simple haircut. YET, she was one of the best TV cooks ever. Why? Because she was authentic. She was completely knowledgeable in her field, a graduate of the cordon bleu in Paris. She never made compromises to please the public, even during the 80s when fat was absolutely the worst thing in the world, she would insist people still cook with eggs and butter. All in all, an absolutely wonderful intelligent person who was fantastic at what she did and was proud to show it off For comparison, this is Rachel Ray.  Rachel Ray wears tons of makeup, her shows always go after whatever is hot at the moment. She cooks simple dishes to please her simple audience, which, if I am correct, is contractually obligated to applaud her at least ever 90 seconds. Her cooking shows take on a talk show roll, mostly her talking to guests while she makes her 30 minute simple dish of sauted chicken and green beans, and she always has to shill a product in each episode. https://www.mashed.com/38124/things-didnt-know-rachael-ray/ posted:Rachael Ray is not a chef. She has no formal culinary training, and she stresses this as not to take away from classically trained chefs. Have you ever seen her cut an onion? She cuts like it like you or I cut an onion. She cooks like you or I do; she eyeballs measurements, she cuts things smaller so they're easier to cook. None of that really matters to most of us — but it might to a professional chef. But her success doesn't have anything to do with whether she's a chef. It's her personality and the way she cooks like we do that makes her so likable. Please people, be like Julia Child, not Rachael Ray.
